Wait until you hear about air conditioning.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoAir conditioning is relatively efficient compared to driving a 2000 pound steel box 30 miles down the road (and back) to buy eggs.
- sokoloff 4y agoMaybe an air-cooled VW Beetle or 1980s Golf/Rabbit weighed that little, but a modern car is more like 1.5 to 2x that.
- prottog 4y agoYeah, light cars are rare, especially in the US. A brand-new base model Hyundai Elantra, which is a very mainstream compact sedan, weighs 2,725 lbs. The lightest new passenger car sold is the Mitsubishi Mirage at 2,095 lbs. It has all of 78 horsepower. ;-)
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoHey, don't forget the steel box is also going to be air conditioned as well.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoMost people live a lot closer than 30 miles from the grocery store.

- saiya-jin 4y agoThis was 1 chopper doing private property management to increase its value, yet outrage here resembles end of world... lets be a bit smarter. Ie one can save 1000x more energy every year to resettle people from places like Phoenix to location where AC nor heating is not needed. We can sit all day coming up with fantasies what to ban to cut down energy consumption
- nradov 4y agoWhich places in the USA don't need AC nor heating? How much would it cost to resettle everyone in Phoenix?
- rnk 4y agoPeople in phoenix will re-settle themselves as water supply reduces and cost of living goes up. You don't have to pay them to leave.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoThere's enough solar radiation that lands on 0.1% of Arizona to air condition the entire south west using solar panels... We don't need to resettle everyone in the Phoenix because air conditioning uses too much energy...
- prottog 4y agoAir conditioning is a lot more efficient than heating.
- crazygringo 4y agoNot if you heat with a heat pump, as is quite common with new construction. They're both equally efficient, since they're the same device running in opposite directions.
